In early 2018, Aurania Resources was approached by VICE News to film a short news segment focusing on gold exploration in Ecuador. VICE News sent their top team down to Ecuador in March to spend ten days in the field with Aurania's management and exploration teams to capture the real story behind the search for The Lost Cities. The segment aired on HBO in mid-April 2018 and was posted to news.vice.com along with two bonus videos.

In this part of the exploration process we improve our knowledge of the geological environment around the target area by collecting soil samples at approx. 25m spacing for analysis with a special tool called an XRF Analyzer that measures the quantity of various components in the sample at an elemental level in minutes.

In an exciting turn Aurania Resources' President, Dr. Richard Spencer, takes us through our on-the-ground discovery of 'Crunchy Hill', a zone with extremely interesting systems just below the lush forest floor of the Cordillera de Cutucu.
